The Origins of Your Username

[Saiyajin Mui]

Basically, put down how you got the username you're using. Here's mine:

A few years back, I was really into making Anime Music Videos (AMVs), particularly Dragonball Z ones. Although my resources were relatively lacking, I made an AMV and showed it to my friends. I saw it the other day and I almost cried at how bad I did. Anyways, as I made them, I decided to give myself an AMV name. I remembered seeing one of my friends calling himself SSJ4_(something, I forgot the rest of it). So I decided to adapt the name Saiyajin Mui. People were calling me Mui for years. Then a year or so later, I joined DGEmu and then AerisDies under that username and it's stuck with me ever since.

Here's one of my old AMVs. It sucks but I want it to be in the top 10 of most watched in NZ for Film and Animation of all time, so please watch it :P

YouTube - Future Trunks' Fight

So... How did you guys get your username?

[SoulCrux]

One day some years ago I was thinking of a way to get a username that could stick. I had no nicknames or anything, so yeah. I started thinking of ways to alter my name, and make it cool. Well off the bat Sal turned to Soul, and then I started thinking about Cruz. I couldn't think of anything so I just replaced the Z with an X, and I thought it was pretty cool. I later found out crux is a real word, but i digress.
So, there you go.
Its an alteration of my name.

[Sai]

chronos has an unknown origin. [i remeber watching Black Cat and was playing chrono trigger when it came up]

kouhei was from Tsukuyomi ~Moon Phase~ [it's how i'm mostly known]

Sai and Nought are from something i'm doing right now.

Offtopic: Mui, i'm dling Tsukihime right now, not sure if im dling the right on thought, is it really just 200+ Mb?

[Saiyajin Mui]

I was also known as The Dark Seraphim on a number of forums due to my fascinations with Angels and Demons, etc.

Off Topic: Dunno. Mine's like 375MB with the soundtrack

[BorderWolf]

I came up with mine from when I was working as a janitor at a college. There was a meeting in one of the rooms on the floor that I was assigned to clean. Some people didn't know where the room was, so I had to show them where the room was, since they didn't follow the last and important part of the directions I gave them. I felt as if I was a Border Collie. Well since I'm a guy I felt that BorderCollie was too feminine sounding, so I changed the last part to Wolf.

[Sai]

oh, ok. just confirmed it, the 1gb one has the plus disc included. no seeds though >.>
Janitor? Part-Time, or Real-Time?
[ >.> ]

[BorderWolf]

Full-time. I'm now working at another location that the company I work for has, and I like it better.

[Redemptor]

Origins,eh?
This one was inspired by 2-3 things.
When I was yet a brat,playing on ps one like mad. I had this one game called
"Cardinal Sin" it was fighter genre with 3d graphics(which sucked btw)
One of secret characters awarded for passing it was no other but Redemptor.
He looked like some kind of priest knight wearing Zeloths(closest resemblance of those,check HoMM3) blue robes.
Back then I had this tendency to favorise knights and any kind of such medieval warriors.Was only natural for me to comment over him "omg,he's soooo damn cool".

Few years after,I accidentally stumbled on term "redemption" (religious meaning),remembering that character from before,I checked what it means.
Whole meaning of it quite fitted my ideals for some things(don't move this topic,unless You're ready for serious philosophy talk)
It also refers to "redemptoris" from latin.Check more about this and redemptioner's on wiki if interested.

At end,
learning what redemption means,with my respect towards redemptorists for their devotion and my favoritism for this one particular game character,lead me to took name after him.

There,I hope I explained it good enough.

[Sai]

viewing p0rn doesn't really do you much redemption don't it? /jk

[Redemptor]

Hey,can't blame me for being human,right?:P

[Sai]

Hey,can't blame me for being perverted human,right?:P

right .

[DarkPrinny]

Ginyou Rinsom - He lieks Gin more than you and he wants to be Rinsed in Some


I liek prinnys and darkness (not the band)

[Redemptor]

Sai,now THAT was manipulation of data <_<"

[Ginyou Rinsom]

hey!

thats not where my name came from!

i made this one up out of thin air

[olath]

Olath Mirshann is Drow for Dark Angel. Olath's just kinda like the first name.

And holy diver--I mean "****". I just realized how long I've been using this SN. Where did that decade go...?

[Ginyou Rinsom]

they haven't

it has only been three years or so

[olath]

Maybe for y'all, but I've been using this since I got the interbutts. Well, not entirely because I think we had the net for a year before I got this one.

[Trio]

I created mine while playing a game. I wasn't registered, so I kept making up names. Then I made Duo (there was no Uno), after that I made Trio. Soon after that, the name stuck, I was forever called Trio, even when I'm on a different username.

[kagomelover]

well one day i was searching for hentai or any form of x rated toons and came across aeris dies.well i wanted to make my share of stupid rude comments so i needed to register. well the only other nick name or user name was on a gameing forum or my ps1/2 memory cards so i thought one more in line whith anime would be better.of course i thought of my favorite anime and thought something to do whith inuyasha.well not wanting to be inuyasha and figuring i was just going on for the fun of it that kagomelover was not only silly enough but why i was there. then i noticed there was a forum too and thinking it will be lame and i would'nt be sticking around i'd just use kagomelover again. well turns out aeris dies wan't lame and i'would be sticking around so i thought a better name would be nice but before i could think of one someone, i think it was giyou, started calling me kl which i thought wasn't that bad and soon every one was calling me kl so i figured i'll just keep it. being kagomelover is why my avatar and sig are werewolves. they are the closest to a demon dog i could find.

[Hyougin Kitsune]

It's basically Japanese for silver ice fox. I like the color silver, ice, and foxes. You can see how amazingly creative I am!

[kagomelover]

hey simple doesn't neccesaraly mean it's bad.

[mistert]

I dunno why i choose mistert as my username. I'm not black and I really dont care much for mister T anyways. I think i was high or sumptin.

[SoulCrux]

by the looks of it Altair would be a more proper name for you

[AbatedDust]

Olath Mirshann is Drow for Dark Angel. Olath's just kinda like the first name.

When I first created my Xbox Live account, I wanted my name to be Dark Angel. However, someone had taken the name. Since I have a huge pet peeve about people with numbers in their names because someone already has the original, and I couldn't think of any other names, I used Xbox Live's suggestion function to give me a list of random names that hadn't been used. About the fifth one down the list was AbatedDust. I though it looked original and cool, so I chose it and have stuck with it on any website I'm a member of ever since.

[Hanna]

I was too lazy to come up
with a screen name, so I
used my real name. Yay!
I do have some line
aliases though. Like. I was
obsessed with Outlaw Star
so I was known as Aisha
(still use some of
those accounts too!) Then
I bored of that, and got some
other ones. Like Eleora,
which is a name I found
meaning Goddess of Light.
Then there's my long one.
Girl Of Roses Hanna, because
my name, and yeah. oO

[AbatedDust]

What made you use that particular sig picture?

[mistert]

by the looks of it Altair would be a more proper name for you
that can be arranged. but then again i change my avatar and sig almost every month once i get bored of it. I'll probably do god of war or gears of war next.

[Ginyou Rinsom]

you had Assassin's Creed for a looong time now

[mistert]

are you suggesting i change my sig and avatar?

[olath]

@Ginyou's comment: This is true. Side note: Assassin's Creed lasted a week for me. Not constantly playing of course, but I had it knocked out by the end of the year--After getting it for Christmas.

Bladestorm, on the other hand, is shaping up to have a long life with me. More simple fun from Koei.

[Ginyou Rinsom]

Bladestorm?

Is it like Dynasty Warriors?

[olath]

Yes and no. It has the same general formula (Big battles that you're pretty much the hero of), but it's not a button masher and it's set during the Hundred Years' War between England and France.

You play a mercenary and pick which jobs you take for either side--You can actually make it to where France's military doesn't totally suck. Single-handedly even. Create options are very limited (There's something like seven heads and three voices for both genders), but it's fun.

The combat consists of you taking control of a squad of troops, taking on their weapon(s) in the process, and leading them into battle against the enemy. They have weaknesses to certain units and strengths to others, depending on what you're controlling of course. Although there very well may be a point where you can take anything with a particular weapon type.

Fighting is done by holding down the [I]RB, while X,Y, and B are special attacks or defensive measures. Depending on the squad. A selects and deselects the groups. Holding LB and pressing X/Y/B uses "penons" that you collect and equip. LT and X/Y/B call in units that you hire and assign to buttons before accepting a contract--Useful if you're looking for a particular unit on the field or need a fresh squad in the heat of combat.

If you're getting hammered by something your unit is weak against and have the squads to spare, don't be afraid to drop them in to draw fire or thin the enemy's ranks.

Umm...You gain the ability to control different squad types by collecting the corresponding tome or page--Start off with Sword, Horse, and Bow; Can get Camel, Rapier, Axe (etc) tomes, and various combinations for the pages like Axe and Shield, Dual Swords, and the like.

Battlefields are rather immense and open. It's not like DW/SW tunneled format. You can actually attack squads from behind, through trees--Which works great against mounted units if the woods are thick enough--or other such.

Now that I've typed all that, it'd probably be easier for me to answer specific questions about it. Or just rent it and see if you like it.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled topic.

[Ginyou Rinsom]

i would ****ing rent it but Gamefly only has the PS3 version on high availability

the 360 one is low

****ing hell

[olath]

Ah. Don't use Gamefly meself. Everything I wanna play is at Hastings, so I get from there. And I actually bought it before ever playing it. Of course, I'm a sucker for Koei's games like this.

[Ginyou Rinsom]

i like gamefly, my vid store has ****, so atleast i can get the games i want to play (most of the time)

[Cross Clown]

Mine was an obvious inspiration from a favorite anime/manga of mine ,
D. Gray-man, I was thinking of Cross Marian and the name of Allen Walker's innocence and just mixed them together. (Unoriginal isn't it?) Even so I use this screen name on most forums so it just turned out that I wanted to use it for AL too.

[Akiko]

I have no idea where "Akiko" came from. I usually go by another name, but on places like AD, I go by Akiko. I think it started when I was registering from someplace my friend was at. I was stalking her, but I didn't want her to know it was me. So I tried to think of something that she'd think I'd NEVER use. Somehow Akiko came out.

[Sai]

eh, your name almost sound like my real name. wierd feeling is wierd.

[kittie]

I was futeki for sooooOOooO long that I felt I neede a new name. so kittie it is. Thats my nickname IRl so why not. easier for me to remember when logging in.

[Gary]

Stuff about bladestorm

dude bladestorm fucking owns

i got it on ps3 at its launch (and incidentally got the only copy they had in stock) here in bradford and played it constantly for damn near a month. its a long arse game and it get stupidly hard towards the end but it damn worth the money i paid to pwn those stupid frenchmen

does anyone remember the uncontrollable hatred towards the french that used to happen here

anyway oh yeah usernames hmm funnily enough i got mine from my name boring but true

[olath]

I'm actually enjoying fighting for the French. It's an odd sensation. I think it's because they have better eye-candy and the fact that they're the blue army. Other than that, yeah. They suck an dI look forward to destroying them.

Also, my swords can handle anything at this point in the game. All the squads I have are maxed--Don't have the last page for them yet--and the greatswords drop cavalry in pretty much one hit. It's awesome. Especially when I get vindictive and go general hunting.

[Ginyou Rinsom]

I thought i was getting Bladestorm and Orochi Warriors through gamefly but they didn't ship

sigh

i love the Dynasty Warriors series

[Gary]

DW 6 will be out soon so you can play that

[Ginyou Rinsom]

yeah but if GF wasn't such a whore and sent me the right games then i'd be sedated

[Gary]

i just buy mine from the shop, silly and old fashioned in this day and age but slightly more reliable than teh intrawebz

[Ginyou Rinsom]

yeah, but i don't have the funds or place to buy them

there is no Gamestop or Ebgames near my town

closest one is about fifty miles or more away

[AbatedDust]

i love the Dynasty Warriors series

How do you feel about Samurai Warriors? (Same game, differnt name [Ooo, that rhymed])

[Ginyou Rinsom]

played it once

haven't played it since

Orochi Warriors is DW and SW combined which is why i wanted to play it

[SoulCrux]

Wtf?
Seems like theres a whole inbred family of games I've never played.
And where do you live that does not have an EB Games or Gamestop?

[Ginyou Rinsom]

a small hick town in central new york

we got a wal-mart

thats it

[SoulCrux]

Wal*Mart has games...
*bursts out in laughter*
Wal*Mart has the worst selection of games ever...
Anyway,
Its better to rent games using gamefly, especially games you only play once
The only thing is that accessories and stuff like that you need at a store

[Gary]

i once heard that the majority of the usa is barren wasteland

and anywhere without game shops is sure as hell barren wasteland to me

[Ginyou Rinsom]

exactly

this is a farm town

i sit at my house half the time cause there is shit to do

[Gary]

dude unlucky

well at least now i know why your a post whore

[Ginyou Rinsom]

it's either be home, work, drinking or out smoking with my friends

and drinking and getting baked gets very mendokusē easily

[olath]

What about Best Buy? Not the best place for games, but it's where I got Blue Dragon and Bladestorm. And I know what you mean about hick towns. Live just outside of four or five--Wonderful thing about being in the country; Everywhere is equally far.

But I've got Dallas about an hour south, so it's not too terribly bad.

[Gary]

ah ok well while were completely off topic as usual do the credits we get do anything or are they still as useless as on the original boards

[Ginyou Rinsom]

no bestbuy

like i said

all i got is a shitty walmart which has shit

[SoulCrux]

I dont really understand why theyre there
And how do you get them?
Is it just 100+the number of posts you have?
But wait no
Ginyou only has like 570+ credits but like 2 thou posts

[Ginyou Rinsom]

[Gary]

Then how does that fuckin work?
Or maybe its cuz your a moderator and you get super bonus

[Ginyou Rinsom]

nope

each post is worth one or two credits

you start off with a hundred creds

[olath]

Ah. Missed seeing the 'only' part. Firebomb wherever the hell you are and move. After claiming insurance and all. Tell the the authorities that Ted did it.

[SoulCrux]

Ok
I started with a hundred credits
and i have 135 posts
now i have 238 credits
thats only 1 per post and 3 extra credits
Whats up with that?

[AbatedDust]

Crux, you will get rid of that sig... now!!!

http://i12.tinypic.com/6x1s12q.jpg

[Nekoboy2011]

Well...as odd as this sounds.
Mine came from the fact i act like a cat, i naturaly purr in my sleep because my tongue sticks to the top of my mouth for some reason.
If i do it right i can be relaxed very easily by being rubed behind my right ear.
And il acturally mew/meow now and then when i have nothing else to say, like how some people will go "eh?" il go "mew?"
Its just some strange habet i picked up by myself..
Yes im strange lemme alone >o<

[DarthHavoc]

my username acctualy came from many sleepless nights of playing to much starcraft brood war and to much Command and Conquer renagde.

[Gaara of the Funk]

*yawn*

I usually put little thought into my username. I mainly pic something I like.

At first, I used The Forerunner, but then grew accustomed to the name Sir Pimps-a-Lot

But I guess that got boring for me, so now I only use it on one site(H-Lite).

The Forerunner came from my complete love of Halo, and Gaara is now possibly my new replacement for Sir Pimps-a-Lot, but it's gonna be hard to change it on H-Lite.

[cross_grave]

Well, I've like the word "dark" a lot, so I often used it as my username, but some time ago, I've started to use the word "grave" instead (I like it more). I also watch D. Gray-man and in that anime the main character, Allen Walker, used an attack called Cross Grave: a pretty spectacular move, everyone hit by it were crucified and destroyed immediatelly. So when I decided to become a member of AL, after a small amount of thought I've decided that my username will be cross_grave.

[Sai]

I has a name.

[kagomelover]

yes... yes you do. you just figure that out or somethig? hehehe

[Sai]

shit son.

That took 7 years to analyze, cut me some slack.

[kagomelover]

lol your slack has ben cut.

[Hanna]

I used to be known as "Aisha"
simply because I love Aisha Clanclan....

[Sai]

My name came from someone.

Or something.

T'was a novel.

I think...

[Hanna]

Also... I am sometimes known as
the forever long screen name --
Girl Of Roses Hanna, because
I am Hanna Rose, and a girl...
(PS, hanna rose is my first and middle name)

[semmerling]

I'm named after someone who loves Carrie . . .

[Chat Noir]

http://www.firstposter.com/catalog/images/chatnoirmax.jpg

[AbatedDust]

In several places I can't remember I used to be known as BombshellBil.
I was playing the first Paper Mario when I thought about using it.

[Marx]

My name is basicly just "Mark" (as in those who are marked or somewhere to shoot at), just with a x.

[Negevswolf]

Well, this name is the second itteration of my attempt to create a name that was not taken for most places I would have to register, so my bad memory would have a break.

The first was "Theangryjew" Which was kinda fun, because I played DoD a lot, and I would just play an alliance sniper and go for the bolt action stress relief. But that name got a lot of heat, and violated the rules of a lot of things where you had to register, so it defeated the purpose.

After using random ones for quite a while, I settled on this one. The Negev is just an area of desert that I like near where I live, and I love deserts. And I also am obssessed with wolves. So it feel toughether and whalla!

Negevswolf.

Simple, and either over the abreviations work pretty well, because a. Calling me negev is something noone will get confused over. and b. calling me a wolf makes me happy :3

[platinummanaxl]

The only that I can tell as far as username origin goes is that Axl came from the Mega Man X series. But for the Platinum Man well I may that up when I was at Vo tech at the time. Any more questions you can PM me ok.

[N25:Nekos Galore!]

N25 is my [hopfuly] upcoming flash/movie, so i used that bit from it and then added Nekos Galore because most of the characters are nekos! (both male and female, but mostly female as i can find WAY more designes on them)
tried going in as Puni Puni Neko, but i picked the wrong adress and so its sitting waiting to be regestered, that one was bc/ i like Puni Puni Handmaid (i want it badly) and again with the Nekos...

My life is one big Neko...

[Kasei Honoo]

My name comes from.. well when Kasei Honoo was created he almost had a different name until I found out about the word Kasei.. then you know to over do the fire-ness of it all. I decided to make his last name mean flames

[Jendaya]

I don't think I posted here so anyways here I go. Jendaya came from a african name meaning..giving thanks. Among africa its spelled..(Jendayi)...but I altered it a bit

[Sexual Deviant]

Guess...

[ScrewAttack]

I played Metroid before registering... Actually, it kinda fits with the site!

[Flying Cats]

I like flying, and te Air Force, and have AC4 thru 0, gonna get 6:FoL
for the Cats, i like cats, weather reality ones or catgirls

[OpenlyPerverted]

my name comes from when one of my friends said holy shit you are too openly perverted... and it just stuck.

[Hanna]

>.O
Mine is my real
first name... I
usually use a longer
screen name, but
I decided against
it this time <3

[OpenlyPerverted]

heh i know what your longer name you use is.

[Hanna]

Hooker Boots

[OpenlyPerverted]

dont make me go and post a pic of you in them sweetie...

[Sai]

I believe she has already posted pictures in question.

[OpenlyPerverted]

damn well i know i have pics of her that she has not posted.

[Redemptor]

*forehead smack,wondering where this topic is leading to*

[OpenlyPerverted]

its not leading anywhere.

[Sai]

*ForeheadRub*

[OpenlyPerverted]

ok...

[ScrewAttack]

dont make me go and post a pic of you in them sweetie...
Now you got me curious...
*ForeheadRub*
As long as it's not a foreskin rub...

[OpenlyPerverted]

i don't want her to get mad at me...

[Sai]

As long as it's not a foreskin rub...
*sigh*

Another to the list.

[CobraKilla]

Mine came from a warez site i mod on it used to be my real name but this one goes better with the site.
